Chapter 18: Hawaii

     This chapter is describing Hawaii. Another chapter talks about a single state. I think one similarity is they both under the danger of earthquake and vocano explosion. The differennce is Hawaii is on the hot spot and California is on divergent boundary.
     Therefore, I will talk about earthquake in my last blog. Mauna Loa, Hawaii, has the largest and one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. According to the article "A volcano in Oakland?-Visit Robert Sibley Volcanic Park in the Oakland Hills", it says There is, however, a(n extinct) volcano within Oakland's city limits, in a park that is little known to those on the coastal plane where most of Oakland's population and workplaces are." There are some rock to prove volcanic activity. Most people do not believe the Bay area has volvanoes but maybe there is a potential one. The earthauake happened a lot in California since it is on divergent boundaries. Here is the California- Nevada Fault Map for San Francisco:
